I missed what model Sony sounded nice at the store. But as models are changing fast with Windows 7 to soon arrive it would not matter.
Go shopping.
I currently own a Dell Inspiron E1505 that's falling apart after 4 years. I hate to get rid of it because I absolutely love the speakers on this laptop, but I feel like it's about to die before the month ends. They're front mounted speakers that are LOUD and don't lose sound quality when blasted all the way.
I'm looking for a new laptop with really good, loud stock speakers. If you know of any to recommend please list them.
I don't want to spend more than $1000, so Apple's out. And no, I don't want to buy external/speakers instead. Thank you all in advanced.
